Ingo Degenhardt Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Here's my Airfix Type 45 destroyer as HMS Dragon. This is my first modern warship (surface vessel) for at least 15 years or may be more. I used the WEM PE-set for it, repositioned the anchor according to information found here on britmodeller and put some crew members (L'arsenal resin) on board. This is all so tiny (I am more into 1/48 and 1/72 aircraft usally) But it was fun and I might do some more ships so I would appreciate any constructive comments, hints, tipps or anything you might consider worth pointing out - in order to improve the next model. I have to add that this one is a 'what if' and the bulk of the images is to be found in that section. I do not really know why but I 'had' to build it this way and in consequence had to invent a little story to go with it. Hope you don't mind finding this one in two categories. Ingo The Grey does not have this greenish tint to it - must be my lighting for the photograph. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo Degenhardt Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 The rather heavy weathering is part of the 'what-if' story. If interested, please find the rest in the what-if section. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I like the wear and tear effects along the bow and waterline, very nicely done! I hope you get the kick out of building ships that I do - I never thought I'd ever stop making planes in favour of ships. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob 1 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 That looks great, very well finished with subtly applied weathering (which stands up well to the close up shots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
